The only thing that truly matters for a designer: in over a year, I completed only a few projects that I felt were worth showcasing in my portfolio. My creativity was largely stunted by company executives who fancied themselves artistic enough to design logos, and paste-in-place projects rather than new designs.


Regarding the company itself:

Any position in the marketing department will come with "regional marketing" responsibilities that they aren't transparent about up front. As a graphic designer, I also researched and wrote copy about units to advertise on TV/radio, sent biweekly email blasts, paid invoices, performed basic accounting with a regional budget, and was responsible for additional regional marketing work outside the scope of my knowledge with very minimal training. I have no experience in marketing and had I known that my job would require it, may have passed up this opportunity in favor of a position where I could focus on my specialty- designing.

Regional marketing is the worst part of the job. I often received rude emails from one store manager in particular, and when I brought them up to my direct manager, she said that the sender was "crunchy" and I should let it slide. I've worked in large companies with high turnover rates, and though I didn't ever feel disposable, I did often feel disrespected. Being made to feel subhuman by store managers who you consistently accommodate last minute projects from will definitely have you putting one foot out the door.

The compensation is not commensurate with experience or competitive for the combination of your job + "misc. regional marketing". Health insurance plans are far too expensive. During the off-season, they refuse to pay overtime and write up anyone who gets a minute over 40 hours. One week, I was sent home shortly after lunchtime on a Friday because I was dangerously close to overtime after a week of working through lunch to get projects out on time. Then, two of my managers called me regarding questions they had about regional projects until 7 pm. That Monday, my position changed from "hourly" to "salaried"... but salaried still doesn't mean "on call".

Two of my coworkers within the company voiced concerns about management and even met with HR, and were told: "maybe this isn't the right company for you". HR should mediate conflicts and provide counseling for management, and between parties, when necessary. I will admit, although I gave my new employer two weeks of notice for my start date, I resigned from my position suddenly. That said, my predecessor was frozen out of her accounts and terminated upon arriving to work 2 days of giving her notice, so, per the Campers Inn motto, "Florida is an at-will state." At will goes both ways.

I loved this job from the moment I got hired! Never bored, I was in leadership, the people I worked with were really great. However, when show season came upon us it was like everyone forgot how things worked.

No organization, severe lack of leadership, spending was out of control, etc.

I was called on to be that go to person, I didn't think that it meant driving all over creation for last minute things (in my own car), having demands piled on by everyone, getting blasted via text because I needed help getting what was "needed" (I can't carry 15 plastic chairs, 5 enormous garbage cans, ice, spray paint, banners, signs, computer equipment all by myself, I am one person). 

I got so behind in my regular work that I couldn't get caught up. I did bring this up and my boss said he would stop calling me in for everything. This did not happen. I was continuously pulled in different directions from the techs, to sales, to the receptionist, and to management (on and off site). 

Sales people always asking about their commissions and spiffs, being pulled away to play IT (when we have a whole IT department), etc. i could barely find time to sit and plan my next move before it was *poof* "Whatdya need?"

It was beginning to seriously affect my mental health. I was angry and hurt that I still had to do all of my work plus what others laid upon me and do it all in 8 hours or less because overtime isn't a thing. 

I ended up walking out before my two weeks was up as I couldn't tolerate the disrespect anymore. Only to find out from a friend who is also leaving the company that the head of HR didn't like me personally, which honestly explains a lot.

Again, I had no issues with anything until show season and the excessive demands upon me, my money, my car, my family, and my mental health started. 

If you do decide to work here, just be careful and have strong boundaries as they will test them. 

There's a lot to learn in the parts department, especially if you've never done RVs or campers, etc. I was immediately thrown into the fire which normally would be fine if the position didn't require a vast amount of knowledge. 

Was there for 2 weeks before I was even shown a parts book and how to reverse search things, systems are outdated, clunky and unreliable. was given next to zero resources for training, just about everything have learned I had to force it out of someone one or make them show me. 
Was sent out of town to get some proper training for about 2 days. Absolutely ruined me all the information I learned and the training I squeezed out was the wrong way of doing everything for weeks so I'm essentially starting from square one relearning the proper way. The inventory in my store as well as the marketing and organization are shameful.

Cross department communication is horrible even though there's a plethora of ways to stay connected and share information. 

Management could be better as of late all I get are annoyed sighs, disgruntled groans, and judgmental stares. Not sure what the issue is. I've essentially been told to figure it out and I'm I'm doing just that. Don't get mad at me because you don't have a proper training regiment. Irregardless we're all adults here.

There's a weird click in this place. I'm not much one for it but it's definitely there.

Overall, I was pretty excited to start this job but I see I have my work cut out for me and the lack of training and overwhelming responsibility on me as just an associate is not equivalent to the pay. 

This company doesn't truly care about its' employees, as a matter of fact, they could care less. They claim to be a "family owned" business; however, the only family they care about is the one running the business. If you want to work for a company who employees men who literally hate women, then this is the place for you. If you want to speak and never be heard, never receive the recognition you deserve, and literally be forced into positions in which you did not apply for, did not receive any formal training for, and receive absolutely no compensation whatsoever for, then this is the place for you. If you thrive in an environment where every single person you work with is absolutely miserable because of whom they work for, this is the place for you. Not only did I have to do my job, I had to play receptionist, play service writer, run the entire parts department by myself with absolutely no pay increase, no recognition, no incentive whatsoever, and when given an "offer" it was literally insulting, but, no surprise there, that is just the Campers Inn way. Like I said, stay away at all costs.

A typical day as a service writer included a daily meeting and customer management. So many phone calls and never enough of me to complete all tasks that were consistently being added onto my job responsibilities. Employees are disgruntled a lot of the time and stressed to the max, disorganized, and in need of more associates. There is challenges with having employees of different Campers Inn facilities do warranty filing or other tasks and not completing their jobs efficiently. Communication within and through out company is terrible. GM talks down to employees and has poor communication skills.  Would not recommend this job. Although the job was terrible, the service department management excelled at making me feel like they cared about me, even though there was little they could do to change the issues. 

Good for entry-level sales wanting to immerse themselves in the RV industry, sales are easy if you follow the process and pay attention to customers' needs. No high-pressure or overbearing sales, which helps build rapport quicker with customers. Service department struggles and builds negative residual ratings from your customers, regardless of how they were treated during the sale. Some very high-energy motivational managers, with a few issues coming from micro-management and pressure to succeed. Overall a great place to work if you can motivate yourself to prospect leads on your own without relying on foot traffic, as it is very seasonal and there are many days you will not have any customers face-to-face.

Horrible management from the top all the way to the bottom for the Pittsburgh location. Mismanaged time, Mismanaged parts, Mismanaged scheduling. To say the least being with this company was an eye opener for what I absolutely cannot stand in a job. Pure chaos and no guidance for any employees. A very high turn over rate for employees, and management dumping former employers work on your plate with no notes on work orders, or a chance to catch up because no one is willing to slow down and train you. The customer reviews are right about the service department at this location. As being former management of my own shop and now having another one I don't see how they possibly survive !! I would highly recommend not applying for this place unless you want a sense of incompleteness everyday and stress because you're always trying to catch up and never get anything done.

Each day i come to work and collect the daily til for each department such as parts, service and finance. The " daily til" is each departments ending cash, check and credit card draw. This is my job to make sure every one of the numbers match before sending it corporate. Once the daily til is done and scanned up North it goes away to its file of the month. Completed the first task of the day now its time for me to determine if i need to go to the bank and make change or a deposit. Once the money is taken care of in the morning the day is not so hectic now its time to check emails for tasks, scan invoices and organize the accounts payable. I also create sales and service folders along with trade folders from incoming and outgoing units. This is just a basic beaten down explanation of my day at Campers inn of Raynham.

Campers Inn was in the beginning a awesome company to work for. About 6 to 8 months in I saw Campers Inn true colors. Management is very cut throat and you have to be buddy's with them for them to trust you and your work ability's. When people have down time all they do is gossip about other people. 
Also if someone isn't preforming in their current role with the company they move them to another role in the company weather they deserve it or not or if they have discipline problems (being wrote up for not doing their job, harassment, stealing from the company. etc.)  they still keep them and slap their hands and keep them because they are friends with management. I really don't understand how a company like this has been around so long with the actions they have taken with their employees.

A busy and hectic place, the coworkers are easy to get along with and will support you if needed. However, miscommunication is constant, adding unnecessary stress and hassle to your work and productivity. Make sure your work is 120% in quality as the corporate tends not to caution or counsel you, if you make mistakes. I learned to be flexible as there is no job security and you may have to fill two jobs positions with the same agreed pay and work 6 days of the week, or a completely new challenge.(Most was fun) The most enjoyable part was completing each hurdle it throws at you, giving you a big sense of accomplishment and ready to learn and tackle what was next!
